Shadrach Adeboye Folarin, better known as Shaydee, has revealed that the strong bond between him and Wizkid is as a result of sharing a room with the music star for more than a year.
In a chat with Showtime, Shaydee explained how Wizkid offered to share a room with him at the label’s apartment when there was no room left for him to occupy after signing on to the Banky W owned record label.
He said ;
“When I got signed there was no space in the house. There was a six bedroom flat and every room was full. So Wizkid invited me to come and stay in his room. Wizkid and I literally stayed in one room for over a year. We grew a bond just like that.”
The former EME signed artiste who recently released a new song explained why he refused signing on to Wizkid’s Starboy record label.
“That I can’t really talk about; Starboy is family any day. We don’t have to be on any signed arrangements to show that. But obviously because of his busy schedule we have not been able to do a lot of things we planned to do. We actually planned to drop an album together. He’s my brother; whenever he comes around we make music”, he said.

A 21-year-old sex worker identified as Blessing Odama has been arrested for blackmailing her clients using their nude pictures.
According to the suspect who was arrested with her boyfriend, Ibrahim Danladi, both of whom are students of Federal University, Nasarawa State, she took nude snapshots of her clients in order to blackmail them because they were wicked and gave insignificant money after sex.
Her arrest came almost a year after her sister, Joy, also a 200 Level Mass Communication student of the Cross River State University, CRUTEC, was alleged to have been killed by an Abuja-based businessman, Alhaji Usman Adamu, who invited her to his house.
Her words: “I was forced to blackmail men because they are wicked. They promised to give good money before sex, but after, they give peanuts.”
The lovers ran into stormy water after one of their victims, Danti, paid the sum of N150k. The lovers later returned, asking for additional N300k. They further threatened to abduct Danti’s wife and children if he didn’t give them the N300k.
Sick to his stomach with fear, Danti wrote a petition to IGP, Ibrahim Idris, detailing his predicament. Idris quickly acted on the petition by instructing IRT operatives to investigate the case and arrest the blackmailers. The phone used in the blackmail was recovered and over 30 pictures of naked men were found on it.

“So, I now took her home that day and I caller parent number to inform them that there daughter is with me but their phone number was switch off and I called them second day morning in which her mother came to pick her.

Blac Chyna is in Nigeria for an event, and she has already declared the Nigerian Jollof a winner.
Chyna described the meal as “the bomb”.
The mother of two and curvy model who arrived in the country yesterday started off with a plate of Nigerian Jollof rice, and took to her Instagram stories to reveal that ‘Nigerian Jollof is so Bomb’
Meanwhile, Chyna also took to the gram recently to address the claims making rounds that she funds her lifestyle with the child support payments Rob Kardashian makes.
Drama started after The Blast reported that Kardashian filed new court documents that stated he could no longer afford to pay child support for their daughter Dream Kardashian, which costs $20,000 per month. “It has been an extraordinarily difficult time for me emotionally and I have no desire to continue participating in [Keeping Up With the Kardashians],” he allegedly said in his suit.
Shortly after the news surfaced, folks began to troll Chyna, with many claiming that she depends on Kardashian, but she has shut it all down.
“Sick of these n—as,” she wrote on her Instagram story. And in another part of her story, she showed off her expensive luxury cars, including a Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Ferrari. “Work Hard, Play Harder !!! My shit !!! No Help !!! No Child Support !!! Stop the Fucking Lies !!!” she said.
However, Chyna’s attorney Lisa Bloom gave a statement to E! News about the current state of affairs. “We believe Rob Kardashian has deliberately retreated from social media to reduce his income so that he can pay less child support. Poor little rich boy. What kind of father doesn’t want to support his own baby?” she said. added, “In the meantime, Blac Chyna continues to work hard as a single mother supporting her children, as she has always done, whether Rob chooses to help or not.”
Lagos socialite, Pretty Mike who few days ago showed off his sex doll he named Amaka, has disclosed that he is yet to have sex with ‘her’.
Pretty Mike who noted that calling Amaka a sex doll was offensive to him, stated that he saw her as his companion.
“I get offended when people refer to her as a sex doll. I uploaded that video because we just had a nice time together that weekend. Other people post their romantic gestures with their partners on social media, so I decided to post mine too. It’s all fun, (we’re) not harming anybody.
“We are not rushing to the sex part, we are taking our time; she is new to the country and environment. I am trying to make sure she is comfortable. At the appointed time, it will happen. I have a couple of nicknames for her but that’s personal, I have feelings towards her. A lot of people might have their various opinions about her but to me, she is what I want her to be, she is a special person,” he said.
Pretty Mike who was asked if he could have emotional feelings for an inanimate object by social media users, told Saturday Beats Correspondent that the most important thing was for them to understand each other.
“My response to people who say she can’t speak or move is that, even people that can talk are not perfect in relationships, they all have their own issues here and there. The bottom line is that I understand her and she understands me. I have been in relationships with ladies that can communicate but they still don’t understand the angle I am coming from.
“One of my ex-girlfriend’s still wish we could get back together, but I am in a new era of my life, just taking it one step at a time. Some people are in a relationship with people that cannot speak or hear anything and they still have a successful relationship. It all depends on what I am looking for; I can tell you that it is working.
“On a regular day, my direct message box on Instagram is always active; however, since Amaka came into my life, I have got close to 200 nude videos and pictures of young ladies, saying some nasty things to me. I handle them maturely. I am sensitive to people’s feelings, and most times, I just try to ignore them. The problem with our society is that they think relationship is all about sex, and that is one of the major issues we have in this country. Relationship is bigger than sex,” he told Saturday Beats.
Pretty Mike who further disclosed that he is searching for a wife yet, said;
“I have a family that believes in people doing what makes them happy. They have been supportive in most of things I have been doing over the years.
“They look at me as a successful young man, and they tell me I need to have a wife in the house. I have been looking and searching but I feel God’s time is the appointed time. I think for some reasons, he just put Amaka on my plate, so for now I am sticking with her. I don’t see me and her breaking up anytime soon,” he said.

A man bought a second-hand storage unit at an auction and was shocked to find £5.8million cash inside it after it was opened.
This shocking discovery was made public by auctioneer Dan Dotson who hosts US television show Storage Wars. It was Dan who auctioned off the storage unit to the lucky buyer.
According to Dan, last weekend, at a charity event in California, a woman came to him and told him that one of this buyers had found a fortune inside a storage unit he bought from him for only £390.
Sharing the news via a video on Twitter, Dan said:
An older Asian woman at the table next to me kept looking at me like she wanted to tell me something. Eventually she walked up and told me her husband works with a guy who bought a unit from me for $500 and found a safe inside.
And the first person they called to open it I guess couldn’t or didn’t. They called a second person and when that person opened it up – inside the safe they’re normally empty, but this time it wasn’t empty. It had $7.5million (£5.8m) cash inside.
Dan told The Blast that a lawyer claiming he represents the original owners of the storage unit and the huge sum in it contacted the lucky buyer. The lawyer offered £465,000 ($600,000) reward for the money but the buyer turned it down.

Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west, says President Muhammadu Buhari is not mentally and physically equipped to govern Nigeria.
Speaking at The Osasu Symposium in Abuja on Thursday, Melaye said the national assembly has been accused of delaying the budget, where “in fact”, the fault lies with the executive.
Earlier, Rotimi Amaechi, Transportation minister, had said Buhari signs laws in the interest of Nigerians and any law he rejects is also in the interest of the country.
In response to Amaechi, Melaye said:
“I know Honourable Rotimi Amaechi very well, and he is my brother, he is my friend. Normally, he is more eloquent than this, normally, he would speak with precision than this.
“But you know when you are not saying the truth, it will never flow. The issue of the budget as raised by Honourable Rotimi Amaechi, I am happy that he was a legislator, and he was a presiding officer at the state house of assembly.”
Speaking on the issue of budget delays, Melaye said:
“The truth will remain the truth. At what point did you bring the budget? If you will all recall that the president of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives, had to write Mr. President, accusing leaders of MDAs for refusing to come and defend their budget.
“The President had to order his ministers to go to the national assembly and defend their budgets before they came.
“The truth is, all political appointees, including Rotimi Amaechi must become born again, if we want to move this country forward.
“In whether the president reads these laws or not, all Nigerians, we know ourselves; you cannot give what you don’t have. President Muhammadu Buhari is not intellectually, emotionally, physically, mentally, equipped to govern this country.”

I regretted reading some pages of the book, as a former President, we only expected him to write something that will strengthen our unity, but in that book, H.E Goodluck Jonathan wrote otherwise. The book is full of hate speech.
Was reading that newly released book last night before I slept, the book is full of hate speech. The author “entirely” insulted a particular part of this country, forgetting that millions from that part supported and voted for him. Many are still standing with him. Too bad!

He was arrested while withdrawing money using an ATM card stolen from a medical student in Nnewi.”
Said to be a country home, this multi-million naira edifice which is a stone throw to the Ijebu-Ode Stadium sits on a 1,800 square metres of land.
Popularly referred to as Ule Omo Ojusagbola, the mansion which Fuji king, Ayinde Marshall aka KWAM 1 lives, comprises of four buildings in one.
First, there is the main house which has about seven bedrooms – five bedrooms located upstairs and two other rooms downstairs with a dinning section coupled with three living rooms. Then, there is a state-of-the-art gym and a studio.
Initially, when it was built about four years ago, estate valuers estimated the cost of the architectural masterpiece to be about N100 million.
The main house which is quite big is adorned by about six Graeco Roman designed huge pillars which are usually found in the mansions of the super-rich. The house is said to have quite a number of high grade bulletproof Swisstrade doors imported from Switzerland.
In this crib, a nice ambience would welcome you at night. What’s more, the interior design and styling are fit for kings. It spells royalty and the owner has received quite a number of distinguished personalities in his abode. He has thrown three wedding parties for some of his children in the edifice.
Surprisingly, no woman lives in this mansion with KWAM1.
According to sources close to the Fuji King, he hardly lives with a woman. No diabolical insinuations here.
“KWAM 1 just loves his space to himself and would not want any woman to disturb or disrupt his activities. He loves his kids and care for them but he would rather have them stay with their mothers than living with him. Remember, he is a polygamist and having all his wmen and children in a place could be uncomfortable for him. He deals with his wives and kids the way he feels comfortable with and everyone is happy,” a source told Kemiashefonlovehaven exclusively.
Recall that the Fuji maestro married one of his wives, Titilope Marsha, legally in March 2018 on his 61st birthday at a private ceremony at his Ijebu mansion.
Unknown to many, Titi, who was once married to Tunde Bashua and left him before marrying K1, does not live in the Ule Ojushagbon.
“She lives with her parents in Lagos and visits Ijebu whenever her husband sends for her. There was a time he wanted to get an apartment for her on the Mainland but Titi refused. She would rather stay with her parents on the Island than live anywhere else. Alhaji (KWAM1) hardly allows Titi and her three kids in Ijebu but would rather send money for their upkeep. Though there are times she forces her way to be in Ijebu, K1 knows how to discharge her promptly.
“He is a very meticulous man, who is also a very good cook. Pay him a visit in Ijebu and he would be the one to cook delicious meals for you. He cannot stand his house to be in disarray especially with little kids around,” said a source to Kemiashefonlovehaven.
That he lives alone with other domestic staff is not new to some of his friends and fans, who believe he needs to operate like that for a successful career.
“The life of an entertainer cannot be check-mated by a woman. He could travel for many weeks and not be home. He could even leave home and not return until the next day. How many women would allow that? There was a time he lived with one of his wives but Alhaji was not comfortable with the idea and started living in hotels instead. These woman eventually packed out of the house. He is an entertainer, he needs to be free of the encumberances of marriage,” the source said.
Mark Zuckerberg is one of the richest and busiest men in the world, but at home, he is a passionate father and attentive husband.
The father-of-two and his wife, Dr Priscilla Chan, together with their daughters posed in a Thanksgiving photo which was shared on Instagram by the Facebook founder.
He captioned it:
I’m thankful for time with family, and that all the girls went along with my plan for matching pajamas.
